i took advantage of the nearly 70 degree weather last monday and got all my lights hung outside. i'm so excited to have a timer this year so they take care of themselves! and now that thanksgiving is over it's kosher to turn them on-oh i love it!! i thought i'd stop there (until the weekend), but i just couldn't help myself! the tree is up and decked, the mantle is glittered with lights and stockings, the whole house smells of "christmas spice" and just about every inch of our living areas is covered with gold, red, and green glittery stuff. last year my mom went a little nuts at after-Christmas sales and it turns out i have enough to decorate about five trees-so i got creative and used the extra ornaments everywhere i could think of. i think it looks fabulous, but i'm already sad that in a little over a month it will all come down and the house will feel empty and cold. i hate that feeling.

I love getting out the Christmas decorations. Brian thinks I am crazy that I just want more and more! So fun!
I must say Liz, your house was quite the festive affair! Gina thinks I turn into Scrooge during Christmas, but really it's just when I have to go shopping with her that I get a little, teensy bit scroogish. The rest of the time is great, and your house kickstarted the season for me! It was great.
well thank ya, bradlee! next time gina wants to drag you around the shops, you come over and watch nash and i'll shop with her. sounds like a great trade to me!
Yeah, sign Bradlee up for the babysitting. He needs a good reality check. And BTW, I can think of a lot worse things to do than to shop with me.
^^^^^^That was Gina logged in as me if it's not obvious
I'd love to see some pictures of your decorated house! I agree, the day you take the tree and Christmas decorations down is the WORST day of the year.
